Abstract
A serial-to-parallel converter which includes n input latching elements; k intermediate latching elements, and n output latching elements configured to sample outputs of the k intermediate latching elements and a remaining (n−k) input latching elements of the n input latching elements, respectively, after the nth data of the n successive data has been sampled by the nth input latching element and before the kth data of a next n successive data in the serial input data stream has been sampled by the kth input latching element, wherein the n input latching elements and the k intermediate latching elements are transparent for one state of their clock input, and n and k are positive integers, where n>k.
